Curled Up With a Ghost

The natural C of the human body forms 
Grazing the white, tender sheets of a stained life 
We curl up to mimic the form of a ghost and lively heart
The texture of calloused fingertips grace the indents of my hips 

Curled up with a ghost who doesn’t know how to love 
What an awful way to die

Yes, there must be better ways to die. Exorcism definitely needed.
